Nothing objectionable in Sushma's choice of words: Swamy

Janata
Party President Dr Subramanian Swamy has
justified the use of a phrase “ Mota
Maal” by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj with regard to the
coal block allocation issue which has been objected to by the Congress.

Dr. Swamy
said in a press statement that there was
nothing unparliamentary about the phrase 'mota maal' which was used by Ms. Sushama Swaraj while alleging that the
Congress party received bribes in the allocation.

"These
two words convey very graphically what in English will be called as a bribe.
Therefore, the catchy phrase is easy to understand for the masses of
India," Swamy said in a statement.

Congress
chief Sonia Gandhi and Finance Minister P Chidambaram had taken objection to
the use of the phrase by Swaraj at a press conference on Monday
